Which attack is used when the JTAC determines that the desired effects can be achieved against the target with CAS aircraft employing ordnance on a specified set of coordinates (not required to tally/captured/contact)?

• A. BOT
• B. CAS
• C. BOC
• D. ACM

Answer: (C)

The situation calls for a coordinate-based attack, where the JTAC specifies a set of coordinates and ordnance is delivered to that point to achieve the desired effects without requiring the target to be tallied or visually identified. This is known as Bomb On Coordinates. It fits because the objective is to hit a precise location using coordinates rather than identifying and tracking the target on the ground.

This is why it’s the best choice: you don’t need visual contact or confirmation of the target, you simply strike the defined point to produce the required effects. The other options don’t match this approach: Bomb On Target implies targeting a known, identified point that may require tally or confirmation; an Airspace Coordination Measure relates to deconfliction and control, not the attack method; Close Air Support is the overall mission type, not the specific coordination method for a coordinate-based strike.
